Explore the fundamentals of Gen AI and large language models, and learn LangChain basics. Set up OpenAI, run llama and mistral, and build Streamlit interfaces with prompt templates.
Discover how to access OpenAI models with LangChain by creating a Python file, reading the OpenAI API key from environment variables, and invoking a GPT-4o chat LLM with a prompt.
Install langchain-community and run the gemma model locally with Ollama in a PyCharm project, then invoke the llm to compare gemma's responses with the OpenAI model.
Learn to build beautiful web apps with Streamlit, a Python framework, by installing it, importing st, and using widgets like title and text input to run a local server.
Launch the llama open source model locally with Ollama, use the 3.2 latest version, run it via command line, and prepare to convert GPT apps to llama for upcoming assignments.
Explore the sequential chain in action by building a two-step speech generator that passes title and emotion between chains, powered by a lambda pass and Streamlit demo.
Maintain chat history without Streamlit by using print and input in a standalone Python program, and store history with LangChain's in-memory chart_message_history for continuous q&a.
Store and retrieve data with vector stores and embeddings to enable similarity search in Lang chain. Break data into chunks, compute embeddings, index them, and query to return matching chunks.
Implement a job search helper using LangChain to load a document, split it into chunks with the recursive character splitter, and query a chroma vector store via OpenAI embeddings.
Replace OpenAI embeddings with olama embeddings to run the job search helper using the llama model, with documents loaded into a vector store.
Understand retrieval augmented generation, or rag, which blends prompts with the most relevant data from a vector store to improve LLM responses using Lang Chain.
LangChain has quickly become one of the most important frameworks for building real-world applications using large language models (LLMs). This course is designed to help you get started with LangChain and progressively master its powerful features, all through clear and simple examples.
Whether you’re a Python developer, an AI enthusiast, or someone curious about LLMs, this course will give you the tools and confidence to build intelligent applications using both OpenAI and open-source models.
